Saw the car in person on Sunday. It's pretty cool. No doubt it's a full blown purpose built race car when you get it in. Very well put together. Downsides, the exhaust looks like an elephant trunk and the car shifts like an old dump truck.

Super cool looking though and in amazing condition for car older than Randy is.

I plan to try and go to Roebling this weekend and watch Randy ruin his first transmission trying to figure out how to double clutch and/or pull a full 360. Luckily the transmissions are only like $75 bucks or something like that in these old cars

Very cool car, and nice pics. Makes you realize how basic these cars were compared to today's complex machinery and electronics.

While at the ring last year, I saw the car below in the parking lot of the track entrance area. Supposedly the real deal, but I don't know enough about them to know for sure.

Great pics. Break down and buy some fresh tires. It'll help with confidence. The car will need more steering input to begin turning and less steering input to keep turning! See you at Sebring.

Yep it's a cheater car it has coil-overs not torsion bars. That takes most of the fun out of it.

Very nice car Randy! The RSR factory flares would be a nice touch.
